Synopsis
A rock-ish, folk-ish, lovingly faithful musical retelling, The Ark is a tale of one man’s vision, his family’s struggle for faith, and the singular voyage they all share (with, of course, a few animals). Son Ham rails against Father Noah plan to set sail with the animals of the world — and to complicate matters, Ham has brought a new wife along for the ride, much to his family’s surprise. And then the rain begins.
